A solar cooker cum drier has been designed and developed. In designing this unit, optimum booster‐collector geometry has been considered in order to eliminate the requirement of sun tracking. Tilting arrangements have also been provided to capture more solar energy. This dual purpose device has been found useful for cooking food and dehydrating fruit or vegetables.
